Now in its 18th year, this festival mixes live performances with educational seminars for one of Idaho's biggest music events of the year.

A highlight of the weekend will be the concert by the Boise State Jazz Ensemble along with student bands playing throughout the day. On both evenings, The Gene Harris Festival SuperBand, compromised of sensational musicians from all over the country, will be headlining the festival. They are a big fan favorite, and this year's special guest is David Lieberman, a master saxophonist who has played with everyone from Miles Davis to Elvin Jones. He will not only be sharing his wonderful music on stage with both bands, but also leading two clinics that dive deep into the history and culture of jazz. You won't want to miss the chance to learn from one of the most influential jazz artists of all time.

For Your Body

Pamper yourself with a day at the spa at nearby Graeber & Company, or let our concierge arrange a private in-room massage session for you.

Adventurous travelers love hitting the local ski slopes in the winter, ranging from close by (Bogus Basin, 16.5 miles), to a little further away (Sun Valley Resort, 93 miles). During warm months, nothing beats rafting down Payette River, tubing down Boise River, or riding the zip lines in Horseshoe Bend.

For Your Soul

Complete your Northwestern retreat with some peaceful time at the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, a quiet park full of waterfalls, pools, and benches for meditation. There’s nothing as relaxing as a walk along the Boise River as well, full of unique wildlife and the soothing sound of the water.
